Our bodies are our biological address. How long we live there and how well we live there pretty much depend on us. Some people are in constant triage. Others enjoy perpetual health. For many people, a balanced diet is a beer in one hand and a pizza in the other. No matter how we treat our bodies though, we all have two things in common when it comes to health: Our bodies will last a lifetime – and our lifetimes will last as long as our bodies.

The alchemy of health is a mind, body, spirit equation. When all three are balanced we have perfect health. If they are out of sync, we end up like the character in the New Testament Gospel of Matthew who is paralyzed and can’t walk. (Matt.9:2-8)

The literal interpretation of these scriptures is fairly straightforward. The man is lowered through the roof and according to his faith and those who lowered him, is healed. It’s a poignant story, but its deeper metaphysical meaning takes its 21st Century worth to a whole new level of understanding.

  • The Paralyzed man represents crippling thoughts that keep us stuck and immobilized, unable to move toward our good
  • People carrying the paralyzed man = faith-centered thoughts refusing to see anything but wholeness
  • Process of lowering man through the roof = a Divine Idea coming into our Christ Consciousness
  • House = human consciousness
  • Scribes = organized worldly thoughts
  • Bed or mat = comfortable assumptions, badge of lack consciousness
  • Earth = physical body
  • Home = Headquarters, the Kingdom of Heaven
  • Son of Man = that within us that knows the difference between truth and error; our enlightened personality that seeks oneness with our Christ Nature
  • Evil = thoughts which deny our divinity
  • Your sins are forgiven. Stand up and walk home = Eliminate your error thinking (give up the false for the true). Behold your wholeness by going to Headquarters

When we step out on faith and choose wholeness, despite the appearance of extremely challenging or immobilizing situations, we can transcend any of our crippling thoughts and habits, because there is that within us that knows the difference between truth and error. We’ve got two choices: we can deny the power of outer appearances or affirm our wholeness by recognizing the awesome power of our Christ Nature. That’s what Jesus meant when He said, “Which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven’ (Deny the power of outer appearances) or ‘Stand up and walk’ (affirm your wholeness)?

All healing, emotional and physical, is the restoration of the harmony between us and our I Am Presence. It is a cellular connection. Healing is restoring wholeness. And wholeness suggests a pre-existent completeness. This completeness is the truth of us. The truth of our completeness does not depend on us. It’s there whether we believe it’s there or not. But the health of our cells, atoms, and molecules depends on the healthiness of our thoughts, images, and intentions.

Here’s the key to an alchemy of health: We cannot think Truth and error at the same time; so we cannot manifest Truth and error at the same time. Health follows Truth and sickness follows error. If we want the abundant life we’ve got to make choices that sow abundance. If we want health, wealth, and prosperity, we’ve got to make choices that sow health, wealth, and prosperity. All we have to do is eliminate our error thinking, take a stand for Truth by going to Headquarters (the Christ Presence within)…
